Anatomy and biomechanics

The Sensual Scorpion is a posterior penetration position where the receptive person kneels and presses their chest against a surface, while the penetrative person stands behind, embracing their body. The penetration should be slow and controlled, allowing the penis or external stimulation to stimulate the G-spot and A-spot. The receptive person can adjust the opening of their legs to modify the depth and angle of penetration.

Why this position works

G-spot: what the evidence says

“G-spot” is a widely used term for a sensitive area of the anterior vaginal wall. Scientific literature has not established a discrete anatomical structure with an agreed location, size and nature; sensitivity and response can vary between individuals.

A-spot / AFE zone: limited evidence

The “A-spot” or AFE zone has been proposed to describe a deeper area of the anterior vaginal wall. Available evidence is limited and does not support presenting it as a confirmed anatomical structure.
